Bought it back in July of 2012 and still using as of now :). The phone itself is not bad at all, except the internal storage limitation and not being compatible with some apps (now). Agree with the previous comment: the last flagship from SonyEricsson. Will be updating to XZ Premium.

Macbeth, 31 Mar 2018I wonder if there are those people out there that still use this phone as a daily driver in 2018.This has been my phone for I guess more than 6 years now, battery still lasts more than a day easily (was 6 days initially!), one of the best pieces of electronics I've ever owned! Wish they'd release an update, same design, up-to-date components.

Just make sure your battery is fully charged before resetting the phone.

Stuart Reeves, 11 Aug 2017Is Xperia Acro SO-02C same with this phone? And is it okay to install non-japanese firmware on... moreHardware-wise, the SO-02C is slightly different (has an IR next to the camera). Software-wise, the SO-02C has Japanese-carrier (NTT Docomo) bloatware which are completely useless outside of Japan. You're better off sticking with the international firmware. Would recommend the stock ICS but with all the bloatware removed (not disabled); the LT18 is slow but usable today.

Hey guys , am having this phone from the last 5 years , and it still works very fluent . No complaints at all. This phone was Beast at that time when it was rulling the market . I am in love with this phone , and I never sell this too , because this is priceless for me and was my first smartphone .

I have been using my fon for 3 years now but recently about 3 days ago its started to cause worry for me.whenever am using it it just goes off n comes on by itself,n when it comes on only the SONY n XPERIA parts show then it goes back off,the Cycle continues and its worrying

Would like to cynogen mod it to lollipop or... moreDo a search on google: Sony ericsson Xperia Arc S xda.On that site you should find out any custom android version you want for your phone. But I strongly recommend you to not flash anything higher than android 4.4 kitkat because those newer versions will be much laggier even than your current stock version.
KitKat is the fastest android you could find for a 512MB or even 1gb of RAM phone.
